Bleeders and bloops were what was expected.

Home runs are what took over.

With two of baseball’s best pitchers in a highly touted matchup on the mound for Game 1 of the NLCS — San Francisco’s Tim Lincecum and Philadelphia’s Roy Halladay — the two teams combined for four home runs on Saturday night at Citizens Bank Park.

But it was the Giants who got some timely, two-out hits, one by long-time Phillie Pat Burrell, in the sixth inning to edge the Phillies 4-3.
